It was a frustrating evening for club-record signing Morata at Turf Moor – the Spaniard missed a glorious chance to score being being hauled off by Conte.

In the dug-out, Morata gestured towards the Burnley fans who were goading him and was seen throwing his boots and shin pads to the ground in frustration. He later apologised for the outburst.

Conte has predominantly started Morata over Giroud since the latter arrived at Stamford Bridge from Arsenal but Chris Sutton believes Giroud will get the nod at Wembley.

‘It will be interesting to see which way Antonio Conte goes. After those two goals against Southampton, I think he will go with Giroud off the back of that,’ he told Goal.

‘I think he has the edge and that will be in the back of the Southampton player’s minds. He has been uncertain about who the best striker to go with is really.

‘At times it has been Morata or Giroud or neither of them and Chelsea aren’t the same force. I think Giroud might get the nod in this particular game.’

Explaining his decision to take Morata off during Chelsea’s win against Burnley, Conte denied it was because of his miss and said: ‘Around 70 minutes, I thought that it was better to put fresh strength with Hazard.

‘He is a player that has different characteristics to Morata. I am pleased for their performances, they played very well.’
